Chapter 269 - 226~227: Mysterious Treasure, the Gap Between the Protagonists in Ancient Books (Guaranteed Update)
"Is this the Slaughter Emotion Sword Box rumored in the Martial World? Legend has it that this box contains the treasure of the Lonely Elder, which once caused an uproar throughout the Martial World."
Atop Demon Hawk, Wang Yuyan’s beautiful eyes shifted with curiosity as she examined the Sword Box held by Jiang Dali.
At this moment, as Demon Hawk soared high, the wind above was fierce. Jiang Dali had her in his arms to protect her from falling and turning into a mangled mess.
Over the past few days, Wang Yuyan had grown accustomed to this since resistance was futile, making acceptance her only choice.
Each time, though it greatly embarrassed her, she was helpless.
What could she do, facing a robber leader and being his captive? She could only attempt to maintain the last line of defense between men and women with her frail arms, secretly cursing her lack of martial arts, which would have allowed her to beat this crude and rude brute into a pig-headed, dog-headed, lion-headed mess.
Jiang Dali, of course, was unaware of the young girl’s fierce thoughts of revenge, and examining the Sword Box, he nodded and smiled, "Indeed, this is the Sword Box. It is rumored to contain the treasure of the Lonely Elder.
However, in that treasure, there seems to be nothing but gold and silver jewelry, and the legendary Jade Cicada and Gold Butterfly—the Jade Cicada can detoxify poisons, and the Gold Butterfly aids in cultivation.
The only things that attract me in that treasure are these two items, the Jade Cicada and Gold Butterfly."
"These Martial World rumors have indeed been circulating for many years. But I remember my mother telling me what my grandfather mentioned, that these widely known legends are most likely a trap.
